Quesadilla · Dubai
The quesadilla.
Ten inches of flour tortilla. A generous handful of Oaxaca cheese. Your choice of beef, chicken, mushroom, or rajas. Folded. Griddled. Cut. Or keep it simple: corn tortillas and melted cheese. The cheese pull went viral on Instagram for a reason.

Two quesadillas, one cheese.
The corn quesadilla is the simple one: corn tortillas and melted Oaxaca cheese, AED 37. The flour quesadilla is the full plate: a 10-inch flour tortilla with room for a generous handful of filling and a real cheese pull, still folding cleanly without falling apart.
The cheese is Oaxaca — the stringy Mexican cheese that pulls elegantly. The filling sets the price: AED 50 veg, AED 54 proteins, AED 58 premium.
